Meatloaf With A Twist
I wanted to take a classic meatloaf and take it to the next level. Plus I couldn't decide between a ketchup based or beef gravy meatloaf, so I combined the two ideas. This is what resulted. Hope you enjoy.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
To make the sauce, combine all ingredients for the sauce in a medium sauce over medium-low heat. Whisk to thoroughly mix. Bring the sauce to barely a simmer and remove from the heat.
* Step 2
To add an extra dimension to the sauce, sauté 4 ounces (1/2 a package) of sliced mushrooms with olive oil in separate sauté pan until golden brown and add them to the sauce.
* Step 3
To start the base for the meatloaf, finely mince the carrot, onion, garlic cloves, and 4 ounces (1/2 a package) of mushrooms.
* Step 4
Sauté the vegetables over medium heat in a large sauté pan in a tablespoon of olive oil until soft.
* Step 5
In a large mixing bowl combine the sautéed vegetables, bread crumbs, milk, salt, pepper, and eggs. Let this mixture sit for about minute to allow the bread crumbs soak up the milk.
* Step 6
Add the ground beef to the mixing bowl. Use your hands to completely mix all the ingredients together. Your hands will get very messy, use gloves if desired.
* Step 7
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about a half hour to let it set.
* Step 8
After the mixture had chilled, form a ball of meat with a hard boiled egg in the center. There should be enough to form 3 to 4 of these balls.
* Step 9
Use rolled up tin foil to form a circle to stand the large meatloaf balls on.
* Step 10
Cook in a preheated 350°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, until the outside is golden brown. Another option is to cook them on the grill with some wood chunks to add a little smoke flavor.
* Step 11
Remove from the oven and let meatloaf rest for 5 minutes.
* Step 12
Remove the foil. Slice, add sauce, and enjoy.
